Missoula, MT, September 29, 2026 —

A federal appeals court has declined to halt sanctions that were previously levied against Donald Trump, his legal team, and other individuals. The decision came after the court reviewed an emergency motion seeking to block the imposition of these sanctions.

The sanctions stem from a lawsuit filed against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). According to previous rulings by a lower court, this lawsuit, along with a proposed settlement related to it, was found to be collusive and lacking a sound legal foundation. The lower court’s determination led to the imposition of sanctions on Mr. Trump, his attorneys, and others involved in the case.

The specifics of the sanctions, including the identities of the attorneys and the other individuals involved, were not detailed in the information provided. Similarly, the exact nature of the alleged collusive actions or the specifics of the proposed settlement that led the lower court to deem them without a legal basis were not elaborated upon. The financial penalties, if any, associated with these sanctions were also not specified.

The appeals court’s denial of the emergency motion means the sanctions, as ordered by the lower court, will proceed. Further details regarding the full proceedings and the ultimate resolution of the sanctions have not been made public at this time.
